" English singer-songwriter Sting\u2014former member of a little band we like to call The Police (we joke)\u2014showcased his new album &amp;quot;Symphonicity&amp;quot; this morning on Today. It was pretty great, as to be expected from a 16-time Grammy award winner. (That said, I played in orchestra all my young life, and love nothing more than a string-backed show.) &amp;quot;Symphonicity&amp;quot; consists of old hits rediscovered, which Sting says sort of came to fruition during his time with the Chicago symphony. Either way, his was just the first of many early morning concerts to be put on by NBC in Rockefeller Plaza every Friday at 8:30AM through August 27, all sure to prep us for the fun summer weekends to come! Lineup? It includes a little something for everyone, like Lady Gaga, Justin Bieber and Carrie Underwood. Full schedule here. Check out this morning&amp;#039;s show below, during which Sting performs &amp;quot;Englishman in New York,&amp;quot; which he says is his favorite song to perform!
